Thundercat and Grammy-winning chiptune artist Button Masher have released “Moving At Light Speed,” a new single tied to Sonic the Hedgehog. The track arrives ahead of Club Chaos: A Sonic 35th Anniversary Celebration in New York, whose schedule includes a livestreamed gaming event and a concert.
Thundercat and Button Masher have released “Moving At Light Speed,” a new single connected to Sonic the Hedgehog, ahead of a New York event celebrating the franchise’s 35th anniversary. The release links the musicians’ collaboration to Club Chaos: A Sonic 35th Anniversary Celebration, which is scheduled to include a concert and livestreamed gaming programming.
The release is described in the source report as a frenetic new single by Thundercat and Button Masher, a Grammy-winning chiptune artist. The report says it follows Thundercat’s album Distracted, released earlier in the same year. It does not provide the single’s label, recording details, or any additional collaborators.
“Moving At Light Speed” is timed to arrive before Club Chaos: A Sonic 35th Anniversary Celebration, described in the report as a one-night-only immersive Sonic the Hedgehog experience in New York City. The day’s schedule also includes the Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds World Championship Finals and Year Two Showcase, set to be livestreamed from noon to 4:30 p.m. ET.
The concert is listed for 8:15 p.m. ET, with Thundercat scheduled to perform at 9:30 p.m. ET between Tee Lopes and Austin Millz. The report says the festivities will be available through the Sonic Twitch and YouTube channels. It does not include a link to the track in the supplied material, though the original report directs readers to listen below its article.
A New Song Joins Sonic’s Anniversary
The single gives the anniversary programming a music release as well as a live event, connecting Thundercat’s latest work with Sonic’s long-running game and entertainment franchise. For listeners, the announcement identifies a new collaboration to seek out; for fans following the event, it provides a musical tie-in ahead of the scheduled concert.
The pairing also brings together two artists associated with different musical approaches: Thundercat’s work and Button Masher’s chiptune practice. That connection suits a Sonic event centered partly on games, but the source report does not describe how the track sounds beyond calling it “frenetic,” nor does it state whether it will be used in a game or other Sonic project. Its confirmed connection is the anniversary event.
The schedule may also matter to viewers who cannot attend in person. While the source specifies that the festivities will be viewable online through Sonic’s Twitch and YouTube channels, it does not clarify whether every portion, including the concert, will be streamed in full or remain available afterward.

Distracted Leads Into the Tie-In
The report places the single after Distracted, Thundercat’s album released earlier that year. It frames the Sonic collaboration as a new release rather than an announcement of another album, tour, or permanent partnership. No wider release plan for “Moving At Light Speed” is included in the source material.
The track is part of a broader anniversary program titled Club Chaos: A Sonic 35th Anniversary Celebration. Before the evening concert, the event schedule calls for a Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds championship final and a Year Two Showcase. The championship programming is listed for midday, with the concert planned for later that evening.
The source report characterizes Club Chaos as a one-night-only immersive experience taking place in New York City. Its supplied details focus on the event’s schedule and performers; they do not include venue information, ticket availability, or a fuller description of the immersive elements. The announcement therefore establishes the event’s stated format and lineup without documenting those practical details.
““Moving At Light Speed” is a “frenetic new single.””

Release and Stream Details Remain Limited
The supplied report does not specify the single’s label, release platform, production credits, or whether it will appear in a Sonic game. It also does not include direct comments from Thundercat or Button Masher explaining how the collaboration came together or what the song is intended to accompany.
Some event logistics remain unstated, including the venue, ticketing information, and whether the full evening concert will be streamed. The report says the festivities will be viewable on Sonic’s Twitch and YouTube channels, but gives no stream links or replay details. It also refers to the event as taking place “this Friday” without supplying a calendar date, so the date cannot be established from the material provided.
